Career and Technical Education (CTE) Course Description
Students will be able to recognize and write syntactically correct Python code that will logically solve a given problem and recognize data types supported by Python. Students will gain hands on experience with the Python programming language, be familiar with its features and capabilities, and understand how to write, debug, and maintain well-formed, well-documented Python code. It is a “hand‐on” class and much of the work is completed independently.
